Nationals vs Tigers MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
By Derek Carty
THE BAT X is forecasting 0.76 hits for Hao-Yu Lee against the Nationals compared to 0.96 hits implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here for the Tigers 2B.
If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 46% of the time, resulting in a 29% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value here would be $29.04. This play is good down to at least +140.
